Antonio Conte suffers first defeat as Spurs manager against Chelsea.

Eight-time winners of the EFL Cup, Chelsea, have one foot in the final after a comfortable 2-0 first-leg victory over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. It was an unhappy return to Stamford Bridge for former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, as the ‘Blues’ extended their unbeaten H2H record to nine whilst leaving Spurs with just one win in their last 36 visits to the Bridge.

Before this tie, Thomas Tuchel had won all eight semi-final ties he has managed in, and it looked like that record was going to be extended as his Chelsea side took the lead in the opening five minutes. Marcos Alonso took advantage of a loose ball in the Spurs half before releasing Kai Havertz who still had a lot to do but managed to squeeze a shot towards goal and it was deflected in via Davinson Sánchez. Conte, on his return to Stamford Bridge would have been enraged at his side’s poor defending as it was a theme of the first half.

Antonio Rüdiger almost doubled the ‘Blues’ lead when a Hakim Ziyech corner found its way to the German defender at the back post, but Japhet Tanganga did well to make a last ditch block to prevent a second goal. Just moments later though, Tanganga was at fault in gifting Chelsea a second goal when he headed Ziyech’s whipped freekick into his defensive partner Ben Davies, and the ball ricocheted off the Welshman and into his own net – summing up Tottenham Hotspur’s abject first half.

Tottenham came out in a more positive manner for the second half and showed more intent going forward in the opening five minutes, than the whole of the first period. Harry Kane saw his powerful freekick saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga as they pushed forward to pull a goal back. As the half drew on, Chelsea seemed to have weathered the Spurs storm, and began to sit back and hit on the counter-attack, utilising the pace of Timo Werner to get in behind the opposition defence. Werner had a fantastic opportunity to add a third goal, but as he tried to dink the ball over Hugo Lloris, the French goalkeeper showed all his experience as he closed the forward down and made a great stop.
